Royal Couple at charity luncheon for restoration of St. Sava Church in New York City

Cambridge, United States. 5 June 2016 – Their Royal Highnesses Crown Prince Alexander and Crown Princess Katherine accompanied by her granddaughter Amanda and her fiancé Nathaniel and her sister Mrs Betty Roumeliotis attended this morning the Liturgy at Saint Sava Church in Cambridge (Boston, MA), and then a charity luncheon in aid of restoration of Saint Sava Church in New York City that was destroyed by fire one month ago.

Hosts of this humanitarian event were Father Aleksandar Vlajkovic and Saint Sava Church Cambridge Parish. In his address, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Alexander said he was very happy to be with his compatriots and his friends in Cambridge after 16 years, and thanked them for their very warm welcome.

“The tragic news about fire at Saint Sava Church in New York City left my wife and I, as well as all of you, in shock and sorrow. That church has a special place in heart of my family. My father, King Peter II was very close to this church for many years. He often attended church with my mother and I, services and gatherings, and my family and I continue that tradition. Saint Sava Church was spiritual oasis and shelter for my family and I during our exile. We have been in contact with Father Djokan since the fire, and we will continue working to assist with the restoration of this Serbian sanctuary. With you and God’s help we hope to rebuild and refurnish our beautiful cathedral” – said Crown Prince Alexander.
